New Orleans has been growing rapidly as a bicycling city, city reps said. The city was recognized as a bicycle friendly community in the fall of 2014 by the League of American Bicyclists. Last month, New Orleans was selected by People for Bikes as one of ten cities to participate in their Big Jump Project to reimage bicycle infrastructure.
